With our increasing use of digital and online media, the way we
interact with these forms of communication is having an enormous
impact on our literacy and learning. In Digital Literacies, Julia
Gillen argues that to a substantial extent Linguistics has failed
to rise to the opportunities presented by studying language in
digital contexts. Assuming no existing knowledge, and drawing from
a wide range of research projects, she presents a range of
approaches to the study of writing and reading language online.
Challenging some of the existing concepts, Digital Literacies
traces key ideas through both the history of literacy studies and
contemporary approaches to language online, including linguistic
ethnography and corpus linguistics. Examples, taken from real life
studies, include the use of digital technologies in everyday life,
online teenage communities and professional use of Twitter in
journalism. Within each chapter, the relevant research methods used
are explored and then tied to the theory underpinning them. This
book is an innovative and essential read for all those studying and
researching applied linguistics, particularly in the areas of
literacy and multimodality, at an upper undergraduate and
postgraduate level. The title will also be of interest to those
working with new media in the fields of Media and Communication
Studies, Cultural Psychology, and Education.
